    Quizzical Pursuit
    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
    Architecture Puzzler #208

    Question

    Why did Frank Lloyd Wright have three-legged chairs designed for his 1904 Larkin Building?

    Answer

    "Sit straight or fall," Wright said of his chairs designed to force workers to sit upright. After a few years of complaints and worker bruises, he allowed a fourth leg to be added — or so the story goes.
